@notafraidoffuture sure his stuff may not be difficult to play but every guitarist has something to give even if it is Kurt Cobain or Michael Angelo Batio.If u wanna talk about 1960's music shut the fuck up coz music used to be better back then. but anyway its a matter of taste if u dont like keith just dont bother watching his videos.

keith richards is one cool cat

All this talk about Dream Theatre and fast playing.. If you ask people in the street who the lead guitarist in Dream Theatre is, they won't have a damned clue, but Keith; He lives forever. And he probably doesn't give a shit about what people think of him, He plays well enough to make millions. ;)

He's still got it. Mr. Richards should be put in a museum if he ever dies.

For me, of course it's just a case of opinion, I'd prefer to hear somebody giving it their personality and feeling than just playing fast stuff they learnt in their guitar lessons. If anything I grew out of playing quick tech stuff that just sounds like pleasuring yourself to give it some spirit, some heart, and some life experience. Modern music for me is usually better when it follows the heart not the head, classical is better for the head...

@notafraidoffuture he created more legendary riffs than you

@notafraidoffuture only people who always play fast dont push their skills :)

[notafraidoffuture]

@imaccuish Alvin Lee was as fast as anyone in the late 60's AND he played the blues quite well also. I think he knows something about rock and roll.

@imaccuish Playing with "soul" is what people do that are not able to play with skill. IMO It is another word for "lazy". I think people that play with skill are not challenged by "soulful" playing because they out grew it. IMO Its no fun (unless you are just out to entertain people that enjoy that type of playing). A person that ONLY plays slowly and melodically "with feeling" isn't pushing themself.

[notafraidoffuture]

@laertixc5 Yes on all counts. I guess I wanted to bring the others back to earth. Maybe he isn't "crap" but I can't stand it when guys like Kieth are held as "one of the best" for their playing. Great writer? Yes. Great chemistry with the Stones? Yes. Great guitarist? i still say no.

[laertixc5]

@notafraidoffuture we have the same opinion on Dream Theater and Paul Gilbert and guys like him are pretty much what i listen to these days.All i was sayn was that even if keith is not as technical as those shredders its still good to listen to him.Im a guitar player myself and i can play most of keiths stuff in my sleep too but that doesnt make em crap like you said:D
